Team them with a pair of plimsoles or converse trainers, a short top to balance out the width of the trouser, a slouchy jumper or cardigan and a cross body bag and you are good to go. You can mix prints and colours for a more daring look, either way harem pants for the weekend are the perfect choice for easy, dressed down comfortable styling.

2. Work wear. Harem pants can be just as good a choice for work wear as a more fitted trouser suit or skirt if styled in the right way. Take a plain pair of harem pants and add a crisp white shirt or a cropped blazer and basic white t-shirt or style a short knitted top and
jacket.

Any of these looks will work well and then just add an Oxford brogue or a pair of high heels. The advantage with the harem pant is that the cropped cuff will really show off a fab pair of shoes so pay particular importance to your foot wear.
